write_jsonld_context

write_jsonld_context(converter: Converter, path: str | Path, *, include_synonyms: bool = False, expand: bool = False) → None[source]

Write the converter’s bijective map as a JSON-LD context to a file.

Parameters:

converter – The converter to export
path – The path to a file to write to
include_synonyms – If true, includes CURIE prefix synonyms. URI prefix synonyms are not output.
expand – If False, output a dictionary-like @context element. If True, use @prefix and @id as keys for the CURIE prefix and URI prefix, respectively, to maximize compatibility.

The following example shows writing a JSON-LD context:

import curies
converter = curies.load_prefix_map({
    "CHEBI": "http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/CHEBI_",
})
curies.write_jsonld_context(converter, "example_context.json")

{
  "@context": {
    "CHEBI": "http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/CHEBI_"
  }
}

Because some implementations of JSON-LD do not like URI prefixes that end with an underscore _, we can use the expand keyword to turn on more verbose JSON-LD context output that contains explicit @prefix and @id annotations

import curies
converter = curies.load_prefix_map({
    "CHEBI": "http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/CHEBI_",
})
curies.write_jsonld_context(converter, "example_context.json", expand=True)

{
  "@context": {
    "CHEBI": {
      "@id": "http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/CHEBI_",
      "@prefix": true
    }
  }
}
